Join this webinar to update your understanding of global security threats and trends, as well as predictions for the coming year, as defined by the 2009 Cisco Annual Security Report. This recognized resource reflects the combined research and analysis of Cisco security intelligence experts and this webinar will explain what these trends mean for government enterprises.

New this year, in addition to an overview of proven practices for combating rapidly-changing online data security threats, the 2009 report also examines how social media is creating a new "playground" for cybercriminals—-impacting security professionals in the public and private sectors alike. Learn how the unwarranted amount of "transitive trust" that users place in online social networking communities, serve to provide criminals with ample opportunity to launch exploits and steal personally-identifiable information (PII).

Cisco Fellow Pat Peterson will cover the highlights of the Cisco 2009 Annual Security Report, including:

• How hacker behavior is changing and what this means for your agency
• Which targeted threats are most common and how do you manage the proliferation of malware across complex enterprises
• Activities by foreign and criminal operatives and how they are impacting government computing environments
• Specific recommendations to strengthen your agency security posture that will limit data breaches and compromise of critical information
• How to manage risk – beyond compliance – so security moves at the speed of the most toxic threats
